5. Smooth Sound: Blood Rushing To My Head by Eshon Burgundy

I’m very partial to Eshon because I have been a long-time fan patiently waiting
for this debut album to come out! The wait was not in vain. What Burgundy
accomplishes on this album is a lyrical smoothness that is near unprecedented in
his genre (see “I Don’t Want You” and “DBA” for the proof). He is super smooth
on the mic, combining grit and easy delivery in a way that is clearly a God-given
gift. With this debut, Eshon has satisfied old fans and made new ones as well.
